Lumbar Laminectomy for Tethered Spinal Cord Musculoskeletal Surgical Services: Spinal Decompression Surgery; Lumbar Laminectomy for Tethered Spinal Cord POLICY INITIATED: 06/30/2019 MOST RECENT REVIEW: 06/30/2019 POLICY # HH-5690 Overview Statement The purpose of these clinical guidelines is to assist healthcare professionals in selecting the medical service that may be appropriate and supported by evidence to improve patient outcomes. These clinical guidelines neither preempt clinical judgment of trained professionals nor advise anyone on how to practice medicine. The healthcare professionals are responsible for all clinical decisions based on their assessment. These clinical guidelines do not provide authorization, certification, explanation of benefits, or guarantee of payment, nor do they substitute for, or constitute, medical advice. Federal and State law, as well as member benefit contract language, including definitions and specific contract provisions/exclusions, take precedence over clinical guidelines and must be considered first when determining eligibility for coverage. All final determinations on coverage and payment are the responsibility of the health plan. Nothing contained within this document can be interpreted to mean otherwise.

The most common treatment for tethered spinal cord is a lumbar laminectomy to release the tethered cord. The neurological surgeon makes an incision in the lower back to expose the site where the spinal cord is pinned, then frees it by releasing the stuck portion of the cord. 14 Guideline: . Lumbar laminectomy may be appropriate and supported by evidence to improve outcomes forpatients when the patient’s medical record demonstrates a tethered spinal cord and ALL of the following: (11, 12) o Urinary dysfunction, back pain, shooting pain which extends down the legs, weakness or numbness of bilateral legs, tremor or spasm of the legs; o Progression of symptoms; o MRI or CT myelogram of the lumbosacral spine demonstrates a tethered spinal cord.

Heary, MD,2 Marek Holy, MD,3 Lars Lindhagen, PhD,4 and Claes Olerud, MD, PhD1 1Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden; 2Department of Neurological Surgery, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey; 3Department of Orthopedics, Örebro University Hospital, Örebro; and 4Uppsala Clinical Research Center, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden OBJECTIVE The long-term efficacy of posterior foraminotomy compared with anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of degenerative disc disease with radiculopathy has not been previously investigated in a population-based cohort. METHODS All patients in the national Swedish Spine Register (Swespine) from January 1, 2006, until November 15, 2017, with cervical degenerative disc disease and radiculopathy were assessed. Using propensity score matching, pa- tients treated with posterior foraminotomy were compared with those undergoing ACDF. The primary outcome measure was the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a patient-reported outcome score ranging from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater disability. A minimal clinically important difference was defined as > 15%. Secondary outcomes were assessed with additional patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). RESULTS A total of 4368 patients (2136/2232 women/men) met the inclusion criteria. Posterior foraminotomy was performed in 647 patients, and 3721 patients underwent ACDF. After meticulous propensity score matching, 570 patients with a mean age of 54 years remained in each group.

  • Vertebral Augmentation Involving Vertebroplasty Or Kyphoplasty for Cancer-Related Vertebral Compression Fractures: a Systematic Review
    Health Quality Ontario The provincial advisor on the quality of health care in Ontario ONTARIO HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT SERIES Vertebral Augmentation Involving Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty for Cancer-Related Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Systematic Review KEY MESSAGES Cancer can start in one part of the body and spread to other regions, often involving the spine, causing significant pain and reducing a patient’s ability to walk or carry out everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. When cancer spreads to or occurs in a bone of the spine (a vertebral bone), the cancer can weaken and break this bone. These fractures, if left untreated, can negatively affect the quality of life of terminally ill patients and their families. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two types of procedures called vertebral augmentation. During vertebral augmentation, the physician injects bone cement into the broken vertebral bone to stabilize the spine and control pain. Kyphoplasty is a modified form of vertebroplasty in which a small balloon is first inserted into the vertebral bone to create a space to inject the cement; it also attempts to lift the fracture to restore it to a more normal position. Medical therapy and bed rest are not very effective in cancer patients with painful vertebral fractures, and surgery is not usually an option for patients with advanced disease and who are in poor health. Vertebral augmentation is a minimally invasive treatment option, performed on an outpatient basis without general anesthesia, for managing painful vertebral fractures that limit mobility and self-care. We reviewed the evidence to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in cancer patients.

These goals may initially be addressed by analyzing biomechanical implant function and early clinical experience, ongoing evaluation is needed to refine indications.
